Answer 2

A trait can be only inherited when it brings a change in genes present in the gametes of an organism. Changes in non-reproductive tissues cannot be passed on to DNA of germ cells. Therefore traits acquired during lifetime of an individual are not inherited by the offspring because they are changes in somatic cells and not in germ cells
